Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tennis shoe technology, and in particular to a tennis shoe with a stable and fixed tongue. Background Technology

[0002] Tennis and basketball involve similar foot movements: high force, frequent changes in direction, requiring impact resistance, good stability, shock absorption, and good slip resistance. However, tennis is more intense and faster, so most tennis shoes are mid- or low-top designs. Furthermore, due to the intensity of tennis, the stability requirements for shoes are even higher. During normal use, mid- or low-top tennis shoes often experience tongue misalignment, causing an imbalance in the internal space and reducing the shoe's support for the foot. Utility Model Content

[0003] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a tennis shoe with a stable tongue. A fixing strap is detachably connected to both sides of the tongue via mounting holes. The fixing strap extends from the inside of the shoe upper to the outside, allowing the tongue and upper to intersect. Combined with the crisscrossing and fixed shoelaces, this ensures the tongue is stably fixed, preventing lateral displacement of the tongue during regular shoe wear. The detachable design of the fixing strap allows the relative position between the upper and the tongue to be fixed under normal installation. After removing the fixing strap, the mounting holes on the tongue and the limiting holes on the upper can still be used for shoelaces to pass through, without affecting the normal fixation of the shoelaces.

[0005] This utility model provides a tennis shoe with a stable tongue, including a sole and an upper connected to the sole. The upper has a U-shaped opening, and the front end of the U-shaped opening is connected to the tongue. The tongue extends backward and is adapted to the U-shaped opening. Mounting holes are provided on both sides of the tongue. Fixing straps are detachably connected to the mounting holes. The fixing straps pass through the upper and extend outward. The fixing straps have auxiliary fixing holes. Shoelaces pass through the auxiliary fixing holes and connect the upper and the tongue. The sole and low-cut upper constitute the basic structure of a tennis shoe. Correspondingly, setting a U-shaped opening on the upper and providing a matching tongue is a common technical solution in the existing footwear industry. The focus of this application is that a fixing strap is detachably connected to both sides of the tongue through mounting holes. The fixing strap extends from the inside of the upper to the outside, so that the tongue and the upper intersect through the fixing strap. With the crisscrossing and fixed shoelaces, the tongue can be stably fixed, avoiding the lateral displacement of the tongue due to movement during the wearing of conventional shoes, and improving the fit of the upper around the user's foot.

[0006] In some embodiments, the fixing strap is elongated, with a snap female buckle at one end and an auxiliary fixing hole at the other end. A snap female buckle is positioned between the auxiliary fixing hole and the snap female buckle. The fixing strap passes through the mounting hole and is then fastened to the snap female buckle and the snap female buckle. The end of the fixing strap with the auxiliary fixing hole extends beyond the shoe upper, while the end with the snap female buckle passes through the mounting hole, folds over, and fastens to the snap female buckle located in the middle, thus installing the fixing strap. This interlocking design allows for quick installation and removal of the fixing strap, making the production process fast and convenient. Correspondingly, after installing the fixing strap, the left and right movement distance on both sides of the shoe tongue is limited by the fixing strap, effectively preventing displacement. After removing the fixing strap, the mounting hole on the shoe tongue and the limiting hole on the shoe upper can still be used for shoelaces to pass through without affecting the normal fixation of the shoelaces.

[0007] In some embodiments, the mounting hole is elongated and adapted to the width of the fixing strap, and a reinforcing layer is provided around the perimeter of the mounting hole. The shape of the mounting hole, adapted to the width of the fixing strap, limits the fixing strap, preventing it from shifting during the user's movement and improving the overall stability of the tennis shoe.

[0008] In some embodiments, the upper is symmetrically provided with an array of shoelace holes around the U-shaped opening. The shoelaces pass sequentially through the shoelace holes and are then crossed and fixed. Limiting holes are symmetrically provided on both sides of the upper, located below the shoelace holes. These symmetrically provided limiting holes constitute one group of the array of shoelace holes. In the prior art, the shoelace holes and the crisscrossing shoelaces work together to control the degree of closure of the upper, but do not fix the tongue. This application provides symmetrical limiting holes on both sides of the upper to allow the fixing strap to extend beyond the upper. The fixing strap and the upper are interlocked through the limiting holes, which provides a certain degree of fixation for the tongue. The design of the limiting holes being lower than the shoelace holes is to accommodate the position of the fixing strap and to reserve space for the length and movement of the fixing strap.

[0009] In some embodiments, one end of the fixing strap with the auxiliary fixing hole protrudes from the limiting hole and is located outside the shoe upper. The shoelace passes sequentially through the auxiliary fixing hole and the limiting hole. After the shoelace passes sequentially through the auxiliary fixing hole on the fixing strap and the limiting hole on the shoe upper, it limits the relative position between the shoe tongue and the shoe upper, so that the shoe tongue can be stably fixed.

[0010] In some embodiments, the position of the limiting hole corresponds to the position of the mounting hole. The corresponding positions of the limiting hole and the mounting hole allow the fixing strap to extend beyond the shoe upper through the limiting hole.

[0011] In some embodiments, the limiting hole is an inverted triangle. The bottom edge of the inverted triangle limiting hole faces upward and is parallel to the edge of the U-shaped opening. It also matches the shape of the fixing strap, which can effectively alleviate the stretching deformation of the limiting hole by the shoelace and improve the durability of the limiting hole. At the same time, the triangle has high stability and can effectively prevent the limiting hole from deforming.

[0012] In some embodiments, an anti-deformation plate is provided around the periphery of the limiting hole. The anti-deformation plate is provided around the limiting hole to improve its service life and enhance the stability of the tennis shoe upper.

[0013] In some embodiments, the sole has several horizontally spaced cushioning grooves at the heel and several vertically spaced cushioning grooves at the forefoot. The horizontally spaced cushioning grooves at the heel provide shock absorption and cushioning upon heel strike, while the vertically spaced cushioning grooves at the forefoot provide deformation resistance. During push-off, the shape of the cushioning grooves assists in the stretching and contraction of the sole, enhancing its tensile strength.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cushioning groove is concave inward and has a triangular cross-section. A cushioning groove with a triangular cross-section provides stability while exhibiting strong compressive and tensile strength, thereby improving the cushioning performance and elasticity of the shoe sole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] This invention features a detachable fixing strap connected to both sides of the shoe tongue via mounting holes. The fixing strap extends from the inside of the shoe upper to the outside, allowing the shoe tongue and shoe upper to intersect. Combined with the crisscrossing and fixed shoelaces, the shoe tongue can be stably fixed, preventing the shoe tongue from shifting left and right due to movement during regular shoe wear. The detachable design of the fixing strap ensures that the relative position between the shoe upper and the shoe tongue is fixed when the fixing strap is installed normally. After removing the fixing strap, the mounting holes on the shoe tongue and the limiting holes on the shoe upper can still be used for shoelaces to pass through without affecting the normal fixation of the shoelaces.

[0017] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one side of a tennis shoe in some embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention provides a tennis shoe with a stable tongue, including a sole 1 and an upper 2 connected to the sole 1. The upper 2 is provided with a U-shaped opening, and the front end of the U-shaped opening is connected to a tongue 3. The tongue 3 extends backward and is adapted to the U-shaped opening. Mounting holes 31 are provided on both sides of the tongue 3. A fixing strap 4 is detachably connected to the mounting holes 31. The fixing strap 4 passes through the upper 2 and extends outward. The fixing strap 4 is provided with auxiliary fixing holes 41. A shoelace 5 passes through the auxiliary fixing holes 41 and connects the upper 2 and the tongue 3. The sole 1 and the low-cut upper 2 constitute the basic structure of a tennis shoe. Correspondingly, the U-shaped opening on the upper 2 and the tongue 3 that fits it are also common technical solutions in the existing footwear industry. The focus of this application is that the tongue 3 is detachably connected to the fixing straps 4 through the mounting holes 31 on both sides. The fixing straps 4 extend from the inside of the upper 2 to the outside of the upper 2, so that the tongue 3 and the upper 2 intersect through the fixing straps 4. With the addition of the crisscrossing and fixed shoelaces 5, the tongue 3 can be stably fixed, avoiding the situation where the tongue 3 shifts left and right due to movement during the wearing of conventional shoes, and improving the fit of the upper 2 on the user's foot.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the other side of the tennis shoe in some embodiments of the present invention.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this utility model, optionally, the heel of the sole 1 is provided with several horizontally spaced cushioning grooves 11, and the forefoot of the sole 1 is also provided with several vertically spaced cushioning grooves 11. The horizontally spaced cushioning grooves 11 at the heel provide shock absorption and cushioning for the heel upon landing, while the vertically spaced cushioning grooves 11 at the forefoot provide anti-deformation. During the push-off process, the shape of the cushioning grooves 11 can assist the sole 1 in stretching and contracting, thereby improving the tensile strength of the sole 1.

[0044] The cushioning groove 11 is concave inward and has a triangular cross-section. The triangular cross-section of the cushioning groove 11 provides stability while also exhibiting strong compressive and tensile strength, thereby improving the cushioning performance and elasticity of the sole 1.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the connection between the shoe tongue and the shoe upper in some embodiments of this utility model.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the fixing strap 4 is elongated, one end of the fixing strap 4 is provided with a snap female buckle 42, the other end of the fixing strap 4 is provided with the auxiliary fixing hole 41, a snap female buckle 43 is provided between the auxiliary fixing hole 41 and the snap female buckle 42, and the fixing strap 4 passes through the mounting hole 31 and is fastened by the snap female buckle 42 and the snap female buckle 43. The fixing strap 4 is provided with an auxiliary fixing hole 41, one end of which extends to the outside of the shoe upper 2. The fixing strap 4 is provided with a snap female buckle 42, one end of which passes through the mounting hole 31 and is folded over to engage with the snap female buckle 43 located in the middle, thereby realizing the installation of the fixing strap 4. The engaging design allows the fixing strap 4 to be quickly installed and removed, making the production process fast and convenient. Correspondingly, after the fixing strap 4 is installed, the left and right movement distance of the shoe tongue 3 is limited by the fixing strap 4, which can effectively prevent displacement. After the fixing strap 4 is removed, the mounting hole 31 on the shoe tongue 3 and the limiting hole 22 on the shoe upper 2 can also be used for the shoelace 5 to pass through without affecting the normal fixation of the shoelace 5.

[0047] The mounting hole 31 is elongated and adapted to the width of the fixing strap 4, and a reinforcing layer 32 is provided around the periphery of the mounting hole 31. The shape of the mounting hole 31, adapted to the width of the fixing strap 4, serves to limit the fixing strap 4, preventing it from shifting during the user's movement and improving the overall stability of the tennis shoe.

[0048] The upper 2 has a set of shoelace holes 21 symmetrically arranged around the U-shaped opening. The shoelaces 5 pass through the shoelace holes 21 sequentially and are then crossed and fixed. Limiting holes 22 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the upper 2, located below the shoelace holes 21. The symmetrically arranged limiting holes 22 are one group of the set of shoelace holes 21. In the prior art, the shoelace holes 21 and the crossed shoelaces 5 are used to control the degree of closure of the upper 2, but do not fix the tongue 3. In this application, limiting holes 22 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the upper 2 to allow the fixing strap 4 to extend beyond the upper 2. After the fixing strap 4 and the upper 2 are staggered through the limiting holes 22, the tongue 3 can be fixed to a certain extent. The design of the limiting holes 22 being lower than the shoelace holes 21 is to accommodate the position of the fixing strap 4 and to reserve space for the length and movement of the fixing strap 4.

[0049] One end of the fixing strap 4, which has the auxiliary fixing hole 41, passes through the limiting hole 22 and is located outside the shoe upper 2. The shoelace 5 passes sequentially through the auxiliary fixing hole 41 and the limiting hole 22. After the shoelace 5 passes sequentially through the auxiliary fixing hole 41 on the fixing strap 4 and the limiting hole 22 on the shoe upper 2, it limits the relative position between the shoe tongue 3 and the shoe upper 2, so that the shoe tongue 3 can be stably fixed.

[0050] The position of the limiting hole 22 corresponds to the position of the mounting hole 31. The corresponding positions of the limiting hole 22 and the mounting hole 31 allow the fixing strap 4 to extend beyond the shoe upper 2 through the limiting hole 22.

[0051] The limiting hole 22 is an inverted triangle. The bottom edge of the inverted triangle limiting hole 22 faces upward and is parallel to the edge of the U-shaped opening. It also matches the shape of the fixing strap 4, which can effectively relieve the stretching deformation of the limiting hole 22 by the shoelace 5 and improve the durability of the limiting hole 22. At the same time, the triangle has high stability and can effectively prevent the limiting hole 22 from deforming.

[0052] An anti-deformation plate 23 is provided around the limiting hole 22. The anti-deformation plate 23 is provided around the limiting hole 22 to improve the service life of the limiting hole 22 and enhance the stability of the tennis shoe upper 2.
